HoistHR
A multi-tenant HR platform we designed, built, and run in production — and the clearest evidence of how we work.
We do not just advise on systems like this. We operate one.
HoistHR is a hiring and onboarding platform used by real companies to run interviews, track candidates, and take new hires through onboarding. We built it end to end and we keep it running — which means the trade-offs we discuss with clients are ones we have already had to live with.
The parts that are hard to fake
Multi-tenant architecture
Per-customer databases with tenant isolation enforced at the data layer, not by convention. Provisioning, migrations, and backups across every tenant.
Enterprise single sign-on
Per-tenant OIDC with DNS-verified domains, enforced sign-in, breakglass access, and a two-person rule on trust changes.
Approval workflows
Multi-step change requests with routing rules, escalation, separation of duties, and an audit trail that reconstructs how a record reached its current state.
Compliance groundwork
Immutable audit logging, access reviews, retention rules, and role-based permissions built for the questions a security review actually asks.
Background processing
Scheduled jobs and an outbox pattern for work that must happen reliably whether or not anyone is watching.
Integrations
Identity providers, payment processing, email delivery, and document signing wired into one coherent flow.
Judgement earned by shipping
Running a product in production teaches things a project alone does not: what breaks at 2am, which shortcuts cost you later, and how much of a system's real cost arrives after launch. That is the experience we bring to client work.
